The purpose is to seek approval for recommendations to address accommodation and boundary issues resulting from the Hespeler/Preston Elementary Schools Study which affect Silverheights, Ryerson and William G. Davis Public Schools, and establish the future attendance area for the Mattamy-Townline Community of Cambridge.
It is recommended:
- That the Waterloo Region District School Board approve, in principle, the reconstruction of Ryerson Public School as a new Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 facility at an estimated cost of $5.65 million for opening September 2010, subject to Ministry of Education approval,
- And that a business plan for this new school be submitted to the Ministry of Education, detailing that approximately 200 of the pupil places are a growth-related need,
- And that the Board approve a boundary change for the Townline Road Community in the City ofCambridge, moving the Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 students to Ryerson Public School, the Grade 7 and 8 students to William G. Davis Public School, phasing the secondary students to Preston High School starting with Grade 9, effective September 1, 2010,
- And that the Board seek a non-profit child care operator to partner in the new Ryerson Public School facility.
